Trying a relaxing hobby class in the city center is a great choice for people who want to kill free time on vacation. Hobby classes have been popular for years because they let people stay away from busy work and study. It's totally fine for learners to spend the whole afternoon enjoying themselves here.

10. 根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。"Look, it's coming! So cute!" I was surprised to hear my grandma laughing happily in the nursing home. Grandma has stayed here for months. She felt lonely and quiet most of the time, and seldom smiled. I never thought she would cheer up so much all of a sudden. When I walked closer, I finally knew why.
Grandma was sitting on a soft sofa, playing happily with a lovely therapy robot named Lulu. This smart little robot was a familiar "volunteer" that paid regular visits to every room in the nursing home. A staff member noticed me and kindly told me Lulu's story. Most of the elderly people here have no family members staying with them all day long. Troubled by physical discomforts and endless loneliness, they often feel upset and anxious. To warm their lives and lift their spirits, the nursing home introduced a group of intelligent therapy robots, and Lulu was the most popular one among them.
Lulu has served here for nearly two years. It has a round white body, big bright eyes and a soft voice. It can chat casually (随便地), sing old folk songs that the elders love, and even perform funny little moves to make everyone laugh. Whenever the seniors feel bored, sad or stressed, Lulu will stay by their side quietly. It listens patiently to their past stories, responds (回应) softly to every word, and shares interesting little happenings around the nursing home. Doctors say stress and loneliness slow down people's mood and health, but this lovely robot is like a ray of sunshine, easily driving away all the bad feelings.
I watched grandma gently touch Lulu's head and chat with it. For a while, she completely forgot her tiredness and loneliness. These warm moments mean a lot to the elderly. Grandma now looks forward not only to my visits, but also to meeting Lulu every day.
I hope more therapy robots can come to help people in need. When I grow up, I also want to do something to bring happiness to those who feel lonely.
(1)、Where does the writer's grandma live?(2)、What does Lulu look like?(3)、What's the main idea of this passage?(4)、What can Lulu do to cheer up the elderly? (at least 5 ways)(5)、Are there any challenges in using therapy robots? (at least 2 ways)八、书面表达
